Default Weber winter project

I have a Cobra with 427 S/O, medium riser heads and single 4 barrel carb currently inning and driving. I acquired a set of Italian Weber 48 IDA’s, intake, heads and parts. The Weber’s were done over by Jim Inglese at some time. Other than that I know nothing else about them.

I am looking to swap over to the Webers this winter and looking for guidance on what needs to be done. Assuming the intake is for medium risers (I forget right now what intake they are on) can I just swap out the intake manifolds, plumb in the Webers, and reduce fuel pressure (mechanical fuel pump) to 2.5?

Looking for guidance on if it would be that simple? Obviously would need to tune from there if it starts. Unknown the cam specs in my engine by not too radically, idles nicely. I bought the Weber book to learn about tuning these babies, but other than that this is a whole new world for me.

Car is mostly used for shows and cruising.

Thanks for any help or pointing me to somewhere for me to gain some knowledge.
